Unpredictable UK & international travel with new job: all tips and hacks gratefully received!

[xigris]

Hi
I have a new job that’s going to include irregular, unpredictable national and international travel. Could be land, sea or air. The longest we’ll likely be away is 3 nights, even if it’s considered long haul.

I’ve never worked like this! Never had travel as part of my job!

We’ll only be able to take hand luggage…..if any of you have had to travel like this please can you send me all your Top Tips and hacks? I am not a great packer and tend to very much OVER pack. I think I will need some sort of decent rucksack rather than a wheel-ey suitcase. Any suggestions for this, too?

Thanks!

I travel a lot for work, mostly short trips. i have

• travel washbag (clear plastic, meets airline rules) with travel size containers of all wash things
• tech bag with all cables / chargers etc (duplicates of the ones at home)
• a nice warm scarf / pashmina shawl for cold mornings
• noise cancelling headphones

I can pack very quickly by chucking all those in a bag and going.

I take one of these and sachets of coffee. Lots of European countries don't have a kettle in the room
